    As the title says, Is there a hotkey for play / stop? It`s a bit cumbersome with the mouse. A hotkey would be much more userfriendly to start/stop your game while testing :)

    What??

    Ctrl+Shift Allright I can do that with my left hand... but P??????

    How Im supposed to fast play and stop while keeping my right hand in the mouse??, this really interrupts the workflow =/

    It really isn't an issue to keep your right hand on the mouse then use your left hand to hold the right Ctrl button and push P. I do agree however it would improve the workflow had it been a button closer to the left but I get why they used P which would be for Play.

    If you are on Window, you can AutoHotkey to remap this hotkey when Unity window is active. (on Linux something like xmodmap may work)

    Something like this for Shift+X

    Code (csharp):
    1. #Hotstring * ?
    2. SetTitleMatchMode, 1
    3. #If (WinActive("Unity"))
    4.  
    5. +x::SendInput ^p

    It is Ctrl + P
    You can set a custom ket by going to Windows - goto Edit -> Shortcuts for Unity 2019

    It Really Is an issue when your testing VR...
    I don't see ANY reason why 'P' couldn't also stop as well... Play/Stop toggle would be nice...
